What Thanksgiving Means to Me

Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day.  Mom asked me to think about what I was thankful for and what does Thanksgiving mean to me.

So I thought.  And I thought.  (I figured I couldn't just say the obvious.  You know.  Thanksgiving is about Giving Thanks?  That would be too easy.)  So I came up with this:

I think that Thanksgiving is about sharing.  Like when the Pilgrims came to America and they had the first Thanksgiving Dinner where the Indians and the Pilgrims shared their food.  And when families get together and share lots of things.  They share the chores, like making food for Thanksgiving dinner and doing the dishes and stuff.  And they share the food.  And they share stories.

We pups do a lot of sharing too.  My friends like to share toys and water and food and treats.  (Well maybe we don't really like to share treats.  I don't really like to share MY treats.  But I let my friends have treats and I don't try to take their treats away.  That's sort of like sharing, isn't it?)

I really like to share my Frisbee with my friends.  I go to the dog park and I bring my Frisbee, just so everybody will play with me.  

 

When I bring my Frisbee to the park I'll offer it to anyone who wants to play.  Sometimes it takes awhile and I have to sit and wait until they understand that I want to share.

It usually doesn't take too long before someone comes to have a game of tug of war.

And we usually let anyone who wants to join in play along with us.

Sometimes, however, one of my friends just likes to play with my Frisbee alone.  And that's OK with me.  Like little Bandit.  He is really young and gets nervous with all the other pups.  So he likes to take my Frisbee and go hide with it behind a bush.  

And then there's Max.  Max is a show-off.  He jumps really high and grabs my Frisbee way up in the air.

All in all, my Frisbee is a really good sharing toy.  It brings all my friends together.  So I'm especially thankful this Thanksgiving for my Frisbee and for my friends who get to share it with me.

Hope you had a really nice Thanksgiving.  (By the way, I didn't eat any golf gloves this Thanksgiving!)

Love, G
